Pinterest Skeptic or Advocate? Either way please read this

Whether you have jumped on the Pinterest wagon, waiting on the sidelines, or vehemently despise the concept, you need to take some minimal level of action regarding this site.

Similar to years ago, when Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and others began to grow in popularity, brands needed to stake their claim on these sites. Pinterest is no different. Because I joined this site several months ago, nobody else can have http://pinterest.com/georgenenni/

I am a big fan of Martin Guitars, bought a 1984 D18 with the first lump of $600 I ever had my hands on, and would never part with it. When I found out this morning that Martin Guitars was following my guitar board on Pinterest, I became a little a bit excited! I was really bummed out to learn that a spammer instead has secured their brand, and their Pinterest URL: http://pinterest.com/martinguitars

Sure the spammers will be going after big brands first, but can anyone list any downsides for dealers to simply go to www.pinterest.com and secure their brand name? I sure can't think of any, and urge dealers to take care of this right away.

If you're a dealer and you need help on how to properly set up your Pinterest profile page (for maximum SEO value and page 1 dominance), email me at: george.nenni@drivedominion.com Twitter: georgenenni

George, I am fairly new on Pinterest for my company, so my first impressions are just that at this time, but I've found that posting products is not a problem on Pinterest as people enjoy looking at beautiful cars and all photos can be linked to other pages outside of Pinterest. This has made Pinterest a great referral site. All things point in the right direction for success, in my opinion.
